Planned Parenthood Facts • Planned Parenthood operates the largest abortion chain in the nation. It is a business that has shown a profit every year since 1987, and its agenda and actions are antithetical to the deeply held beliefs of most Americans. • Taxpayers should not be forced to fund it. No more federal funding for Planned Parenthood!
Dastardly deception“Abortion is 3% of our business” • Planned Parenthood often claims that abortion is 3 percent of its business. • It arrives at that number by dividing the number of abortions it commits by the total number of “services.” In 2008, that would be 324,008 divided by 10,943,609. • If Planned Parenthood hands out 97 condoms, it would count that as 97 “services.” Then it does 3 abortions, and claims that, because it also handed out 97 condoms, abortion is 3 percent of its business.
Abortion is 40.6% of PP’s business • The honest way to illustrate Planned Parenthood’s abortion-centered business model would be to see what percentage of its total clinic income is attributable to abortion. When we do the math, we see that Planned Parenthood’s estimated $152,283,760 2008 abortion income amounts to 40.6 percent of its 2007-2008 clinic income. • If Planned Parenthood wanted to accurately portray the extent of its abortion business, it would use the 40.6 percent figure instead of the deceptive 3 percent figure that it constantly regurgitates.

Medicaid Directly Funds Abortionhttp://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/IB_medicaidFP.pdf • While Title X money cannot be used to directly pay for abortions, Medicaid can directly pay for abortions, under certain circumstances: • Life of the mother • Rape • Incest • States remain free to use their own Medicaid funds to pay for other “medically necessary” abortions: • As of May 2007, 17 states did so.
Medicaid pays for 240,000 abortions annually • The Guttmacher Institute says that 20% of abortion patients report having used Medicaid to pay for abortions. (Facts on Induced Abortions, Jan. 2011) • With annual abortion numbers hovering around 1.2 million, that means that 240,000 abortions are paid for annually by Medicaid.
